### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-10-30, version 1.6.1*

Omg I beat the game 😱 I wish there was 1 more of the game but very stress full to beat it took me like 3 years. But good game, LOVE IT!!!

### 5/5 — Instant classic!

*2021-10-29, version 1.6.1*

Holy addictive! I only wish I had found this game a bit sooner. After scouring around Apple Arcade for a hit I branched out and searched for videos of great games outside of Arcade and found this little nugget of a gem hidden amongst the articles. 

Built well, great pacing, nice skill cap and learning curve - the art style and (albeit very minimal) story is cute and enough to relay what your doing.

Great backwards twist on a classic style that just works, and even this long after release it still holds up perfectly well. 

Get this game!

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2021-08-12, version 1.6.1*

I would recommend this game to everyone who likes grindy but quick games that are not pay-to-win. It’s definitely worth the money.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say I’d like to see a sequel. I don’t see many people requesting one, but I want a Knightmare Tower 2 with more features, more princesses to save, more upgrades, and more enemies to slice!

### 5/5 — Super fun

*2021-02-02*

I loved this game when I was little and still love it.

### 5/5 — Need a sequel

*2020-12-06*

Love this game but lacks replay-ability. Need a number 2, please!

### 3/5 — Won’t load

*2020-11-22, version 1.6.1*

Game is great but won’t load past the first screen on iPhone XR

### 5/5 — Please come back

*2020-10-16, version 1.6.1*

This is a great game, please don’t stop updating it! I’m probably a bit late on this but come on!

### 3/5 — Please update!

### 5/5 — Loved every bit of it.

*2020-07-28, version 1.6.1*

I even accidentally deleted my data and went back to play through all over again. Addicting as hell, worth every cent.

### 5/5 — Extremely good

*2020-06-13*

Even though it cost money it’s still good it’s cheap pocket change! It gives you an amazing experience the game is under appreciated buy so we can get more updates!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-02-05, version 1.6.1*

Doesn’t load on iPhone 10

### 1/5 — its ok, but

*2020-04-15, version 1.6.1*

I HATE that it is tilt controls! I wish i was told! there should at least be an option to use a joystick or something

### 1/5 — Greedy developer STAY AWAY!

*2017-06-30*

Did an app "update" but the only thing it did is reset all my progress. Now I either pay in their pay-to-play version or accept the loss. I bought this at full value but Guess that was not enough for the developer.

### 1/5 — What a disappointment

*2013-12-05, version 1.3.1*

I bought this game as soon as it came to iOS after playing and loving the Flash version. It was everything I'd expect until the recent update. Now although I've purchased it I keep being told I need to unlock the full version to keep leveling up (yes I'm just finally going through it for the third time). I'm disgusted and disappointed that such a large bug would have made it out to the App Store. if you already have the game don't update. If you're looking to get it, wait until this gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2013-11-26*

Game crashes before i have even played 1 game. How do i get my $2.99 back???

### 1/5 — Please other control options, drive me nuts

*2013-10-10*

I hate tilt control; most of my car racing provides another type of controls for players to select. 
Ok tilt control, but why reverse the Left and Right, tilt Left then move Left, why moving to the opposite side... Total not playable for me unless you gimme better control option; otherwise review 1 star!

### 2/5 — Joystick/ other buttons

*2022-11-12*

This game would be a LOT better if we had the option to use a joystick and button to control, not tilting and touch. Also make it compatible for portrait mode, would make gameplay that much better. Overall good game, but crappy controls

### 2/5 — Ok game but..

*2014-06-29*

Tilt controls only which is something I absolutely hate.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because of no in app purchases, which I respect immensely.. However, for me, this is unplayable unless they add touch controls..

### 2/5 — Crash

*2013-10-08*

When I get on the game 10 sec it crashs on iPod touch

### 2/5 — Started crashing after a run on survival (iPad 2nd gen)

*2013-08-15, version 1.1.0*

I loved this game.  I beat the Boss after about the 4th or 5th time meeting him (guy who commented about boss being unbeatable is ridiculous.)  I never had a problem with the game until today.  I played survival and had a good run.  After the end when it was giving me my achievements, it exited out.  I was disappointed, but thought my iPad was the issue.  This was not the case.  Tried three more times, and the same thing happened.  Please fix this and I will gladly rate the game appropriately.
